Hosting@CDDC
The Center for Digital Discourse and Culture (CDDC) in the College of
Arts and Sciences at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University
is accepting proposals for hosting artistic, critical, and literary
projects. The CDDC ( http://www.cddc.vt.edu ) has been in operation for
over two years, and it publishes hypertext journals, hosts digital
research archives, and cooperates with many international cyberculture
organizations.
As an entirely digital point-of-publication, the CDDC is seeking from
individuals and groups, proposals of artistic or academic merit for use
of our server space. The main focus of the CDDC is to explore the new
communicative potentials of hypertext, hypermedia, and web-centered
publication. The review processes will be as extensive as those
experienced in print academic outlets, but it too will be conducted in a
fully on-line format.
Proposals should be approximately one page in length. They should
explain the work, and, if possible, provide examples (current urls) of
the work proposed. We imagine projects by individual digital artists or
writers, groups of artists, reviewed or curated online display spaces
or literary journals, and other unique endeavors will take advantage of
this service. On average, each project can be allocated a considerable
amount of space (i.e. around 50 MB, of web addressable server space,
though both larger and smaller requests will be considered), accessible
from an ftp account on the CDDC servers.
To propose a publication project, or to get more information, contact
the Center for Digital Discourse and Culture at cddc(a)vt.edu .
FAQ:
Q:How do I get free hosting for my online artistic/literary project at CDDC?
A:You have to submit a proposal first. That proposal then goes through
a rigorous review process and once it is accepted, then you get free
hosting.
Q:Do I have to pay for this?
A:There will be no charge for this service.
Q:Can I pay to have my materials hosted and bypass the process?
A:No, there is no way to bypass the review process and while we accept
donations, they will have no affect upon the review process.
Q:I have an idea for a project, but the project is not finished, should
I submit a proposal?
A:We would strongly prefer proposals about completed projects, but will
entertain proposals about projects under construction. Projects not yet
started are unlikely to make it through the review process.
Q:Can I put ads or other profit making tools in my area in cddc?
A: No, but it is conceivable that one could use these in a form of
artistic expression, and that would be something that would go through
the review process.
Q:Will the CDDC attempt to make profit off of my work, by placing ads, etc.?
A:No
Q:Do you provide DNS resolution?
A:We are looking into it, but we know of several free services that can
resolve to our servers and do provide virtual hosting on those servers
as long as some mention of CDDC support is made on the front page or a
sponsors page.
Q:I represent a group of artists and we would like to create a site and
review the work that we want on that site, could that be hosted on CDDC?
A:Yes, we are happy to provide this service to a group of people
maintaining on ongoing or permanent exhibition space. However, we would
suggest a slightly larger proposal 2-3 pages that includes URL's to the
types of work that your group supports and would include. This proposal
will then be reviewed and if it is accepted, your group will be given a
space.
